Hel and the Emerald Sky City

[Mature Content] ||| This is a fantasy soulmates romance set in an Urban setting with lots of deeply traumatic backstories and many deaths on the way, in a magical ancient academy, and with one of the main plots being revenge. There are countless types of mythical creatures and all coexisting in our very world. ||| Torture is all I’ve known for two thousand years. Not because I’m the one causing it, which ain’t the case, but because since the old reptile, Dragon Queen Meredith Bloom and her daughter in law, Crowned Princess Philippa Bloom kidnapped me from my mother when I was 7 years old, and killed her in front of me, I’ve been treated like a material she absolutely despised but wanted to make a weapon with. All because I’m the bastard daughter of the Crowned Prince Russell Frederick Bloom, the “holy-golden-dragon” with my mom, a black dragon extremely powerful who worked directly with the Dragon Queen and King as the Royal blacksmith and stylist. Which baffles me even more is that mother and Russell were mates, but as dear grandma there didn’t want a black dragon to mate with her precious golden son, she terrorized my mom when she learned of their affair and made sure her son married a female golden dragon of high birth right away. That’s where Philippa Pepper Wreathers-Bloom comes into the picture. She got engaged to my birth father before mother could even have me, and as soon as she had me on the territory now known as New Zealand, she ran away to her family’s original territory on the Himalaya Mountain Range. Which is where she made her lair and raised me for 7 years, in physical age. That is, until dear grandma came and ended our short-lived happiness. Aye, key detail. Mom and dad were both dragons, of different founding clans but both dragons, nevertheless, I came out weird and I’m not a dragon at all, I’m something else entirely, though still in the reptile family. Which is another reason why Meredith tortured the shite out of me. If there was something she despises more than having a bastard in her perfect Royal bloodline, is having a bastard who’s an error in the system (not my choice of words, hers), something that’s only been heard in legends of the long gone old world. What are you then, Hel? I’m a serpent. But not just a serpent, I’m a gigantic black serpent with emerald scales here and there (which Meredith is to blame for), long and wide bat-like wings, with sapphire eyes, and silver sharp fangs full of a very lethal poison. ||| English is not my first language.

C ||| Of Cults & Matchmaking

Four days went by like that.

Training with Felix, time with Oli, training with our teams, training with Agatta, time with Oli again, second trainings with our teams again. At night, he respected me and we made a deal for me to sleep one day at the tower and one day at my dorm. If I slept in his tower, we would read the books and then be together. If I slept in the dorm, I would leave some books with him and spend the whole night reading as well.

I made so each hour I spend training with the teams, lasts a spam of a day, thus instead of training for nine hours per day, we trained actually for nine days in the dome of time magic I made, during one day in the outside world. Multiply that for four, and we've trained together for a total of thirty six days. Time magic be blessed.

The downside is having to spent that long with those annoying kids.

Cosmos is arriving tomorrow. Today I'm sleeping in the dorm.

But tonight I'm not staying here the whole time, because I need time from the books, and from all this overwhelming stuff that's been going on for days non-stop. And I've been postponing going to the secret hidden chamber in the library, that Cosmos told me about.

Me: Hey, hey, hey, hey,

Me: I'm planning on going there tonight.

Cosmos: Where exactly?

Me: Secret library chamber *grinning emoji*

Cosmos: *mischievous grin gif*

Cosmos: You remember how, right?

Cosmos: Or did making out with little fanged bitch messed up all the neurons on your brain and you photographic memory?

Cosmos: *gagging gif*

Me: Ha, ha, ha,

Me: You're so funny, father.

Me: 1st – Get to the secret office on the back of the library.

Me: 2nd – Go to the magical freaky-eerie-mirror in the back wall.

Which definitely is the worse part. The. Worse.

Me: 3rd – Channel one of my elemental magic types in my hand, and touch the freaky-eerie-mirror with the palm of my hand.

Me: 4th – There I'll find a hallway that will take me to the chamber.

Me: 5th – To leave, I need to do the same touching-the-bloody-mirror-with-my-palm process, but with the opposite elemental magic to the one I chose to use to go through it.

Cosmos: That's my kid.

Cosmos: There's also legends of Belladonna Academy having a secret society that uses the secret hidden chamber as their meeting place. Though I've never saw that happening, so, I believe might just be a big load of bullshite.

["Now, that's interesting!"]

"Sounds like bullshite to me," I mocked.

Me: What for? A cult?

Me: *laughing my ass off gif*

Cosmos: *laughing gif*

Cosmos: Can you imagine?

Cosmos: A cult of kids planning to make human sacrifices, drink the blood of virgins, and take over the world with their bullshite.

Me: *laughing mockingly gif*

Me: Cult of the paladins for burning witches.

Cosmos: Cult for roasting dragon meat.

Me: Cult for making sushi of sirens.

Cosmos: Sushi of KRAKENS. Can you imagine that shite?

Cosmos: Roasting giant tentacles on a spike? In a sunny beach?

Me: *cat gagging gif*

Me: DiSgUsTiNg ShItE

Cosmos: *baby dragon gagging gif*

Me: Cult for salad of elves.

Cosmos: Cult for cocktail of vampires.

Me: Cult for hunting shifters.

Cosmos: Cult for frying seraphim wings.

Me: Cult for making potions of demon blood.

Cosmos: *laughing as fuck gif*

Cosmos: Aphrodisiac potions of succubus.

Me: Why didn't we think of that before?

Cosmos: We'll get sooooo much money.

Me: We are going to bankrupt people with this.

Cosmos: Bankrupting arseholes? Let's do it.

Me: Shall we? *mischievous devil grin*

Cosmos: We shall! *mischievous devil grin*

Cosmos: So, how's training?

Me: Better than expected, it's pretty cool too. Eclipseball, I mean.

Cosmos: I told you it was!

Cosmos: I'll be watching you train these last days.

Cosmos: We'll see each other during breakfast *winking emoji*

Me: Seems like Hanna will be having a date *mischievous grin*

Cosmos: *annoyed gif*

Cosmos: When will you stop?

Me: When you try it out. You know, you're getting old.

Cosmos: Go to hell, Hel!

Then he went offline. He always ends our talks like that, ugh. This damned dragon. Let's just throw the bait for him.

["Are you really going to go with the matchmaker thing?"]

I grinned at him, Of course! Come on, they will look cute together.

["But isn't she too kind for him? I mean, you two are alike."]

I don't think that matters. I don't know many people either to like, match it with him. The other hot female who's old and mature enough to be with him, and who would look good with him, is Abellona. But Hanna is closer, and she's obsessed with him.

["You have a point. But maybe he's not attracted to her!"] Maybe.

That's a possibility. But at least I'm trying to help.

Me: Hanna, Hanna, Hanna,

Hanna: Hel, Hel, Hel,

Me: Get prettier tomorrow morning *winking emoji*

Hanna: *blushing sticker*

Hanna: Is your father coming?

Oh, yes. The adoption thing.

["She's quick!"]

Of course, she is. She's obsessed with him.

Me: Yeah, he'll be here because of the Lunar Starfall Festival.

Hanna: Ah! That's one of the two events I can go to watch.

Me: Oh my Crone, you will be able to come to see me?

Hanna: *dancing in excitement gif*

Hanna: Yeeeesss!

Hanna: What team are you on? Should I dress up differently?

Me: I'm actually my own team leader *smug face emoji*

Me: Emerald team, advanced classes, team B.

Hanna: Wait *eye-wide emoji*

Hanna: If you're team B, you will be going against the Crowned Prince of the Vampire Court's team? Oliver-Sean Montgomery Strauss-Khan. Hel, he's the strongest kid in there, and a 10-year-streak winner!

Me: And… my boyfriend *winking emoji*

Me: Keep it between us.

Me: But don't worry, I'll be taking his ruby crown for myself.

Hanna: *jaw-slacking gif*

Hanna: Now, I'm excited and rooting hard.

Hanna: I'll wear green and bring a pom-pom.

Me: Use green and black, and look pretty, father will be here.

Hanna: Ugh, I love you kid.

Hanna: Thanks for helping me with him.

Me: *winking emoji*

Me: See you in three days.

Hanna: See you.

["I like her. She's always been kind to me."]

I like her too. She was also kind to me. Thank to her, I have you.

Jack smiled, ["Oli-beautiful-babe emotions are doing you good."]

I scoffed, "Go to hell, Jack!"

Jumping from my bed, I went to my closet, where I put on an emerald and obsidian corset over the black social Valentino shirt I stole from Oliver, which smells like him, a pair of high-waist black shorts, a magical obsidian belt where I put each of my daggers, Disgrace on the right and Despair on the left, as well as I locked my katana, Death, on the back of my corset, since I can carry weapons made by mom on them, because they were also made by her. And as for the shoes, I chose to match it all with my… red fox slippers.

["You are all fierce, until it gets to your feet. Too cute!"]

I glared at him, Don't judge me, its comfortable!

["I have no doubt about that,"] he chuckled mockingly. ["So, will you go after Felix? Everyone else is dating. They might all be meeting up on Savannah's tower again, since you always refuse to go. But Felix said he would be sleeping, given how he's training so hard with you."]

True, he is. I feel partially bad for going too hard on him, but he did ask me to go all out and not easy on him. And yes, I'll call him, because I'm sure he'll love to find this secret place with me before anyone else.

["And he's jealous that you're more with Oli-beautiful-babe than with him."] There he goes calling him that again.

Ugh, everyone is jealous of something now. It's not like he isn't all but spending his full free time with Igor and Henrihk. I still have no idea how he can take two, but alright. Good threesome for him, unholy child.

He chuckled loudly, ["Unholy? Look who's talking!"]

"Shut it, alright? Oliver is already too much."

["Oh, I have no doubt about that. And the fact that your mating bond is different make it all more to take in,"] he flew to the door after me. ["But I'm glad you've given up on breaking the bond with him."]

I blinked, "I didn't."

["What?"] He gasped horrified.

"But I don't want to talk about it, until I have to talk about it!"

The last thing I did was take my three-liters bottle of water from the top of our fridge that stays at the left side of Yumi's bed, since she seems the one who bought it from Japan and brought it back when she came from her home on one of their past vacations. I walked out of the dorm, locked the door with my key, and put it on the left front pocket of my shorts.

"Shall we see who gets to Felix's lair first?" I grinned at Jack in a dare as I opened my wings wide, which are now longer than before, after all the times I shifted into my Serpent on these hypothetically-four days.

["I'm winning!"]

"As if I would ever let that happen!"
